Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for analyzing particles using an impedance sensor. A flow-through impedance sensor may use two in-line electrodes driven in counter phase. A common sensor electrode may be used to, for example, detect impedance and determine trajectories through the sensor area. The sensor may be used in a wide variety of applications, including but not limited to use with microfluidic devices for determining particle characteristics such as position, velocity, size, and concentration as well as detection of bacterial spores and other biological agents of potential use in warfare and bio-terrorism.

Abstract: A complete integral pelletized animal feed which is easily and economically prepared with a potato component. This invention combines hay, oats, and potato waste with a primary and secondary supplement premix. The potato component acts as a binder which makes it possible to pelletize the combined components. The composite animal feed is a complete food requiring no further supplementation. The instant invention provides an economical, one-step, integral, composite animal feed which incorporates potato waste and a primary and secondary supplement premix forming a complete animal feed. The instant invention is economically produced using potato waste, and economical to use since no further supplementation is necessary. Further, the complete feed with primary and secondary supplements has the capacity to improve performance characteristics in, for example race or show horses, far beyond what might be expected if the individual components were singly incorporated into the animal's diet.
